What is the Krispy Kreme Challenge?? 12 doughnuts, 5 miles, 1 hour! Beginning at NC State’s Memorial Belltower, each runner will run 2.5 miles through downtown Raleigh to the Krispy Kreme store. Once you arrive at Krispy Kreme, you’ll quickly scarf down a dozen hot, glazed, Krispy Kreme donuts, then turn around and run those calories off by running 2.5 miles back to the Belltower! All in one hour!

FROM THE RACE ORGANIZERS

The mantra of the Krispy Kreme Challenge epitomizes the test of physical fitness and gastrointestinal fortitude. What started as a challenge among ten friends has transformed into a nationally publicized charity race, and the number one tradition to complete before graduating from North Carolina State University.

On February 6, 2016, we hosted more than 8,000 people for the 12th Annual Krispy Kreme Challenge, where we donated $195,000 to the UNC Children’s Hospital, bringing the cumulative donation to an impressive $1,149,000.
